The Netherlands is the sixth largest economy in the European Union and a global financial center. Due to its business-friendly climate and favorable tax regime, the Netherlands is an attractive location for corporate headquarters and for structuring international transactions.

In a recent case between the owner of a plot with a number of business premises, and the local residents, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (the DDPA) ruled that the owner is allowed to protect its property with camera surveillance.

After years of discussions, the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR), has finally been adopted and is due to come into effect 25 May 2018. The GDPR will replace the current Data Protection Directive and will be directly applicable in all EU member states.

Now the world's largest law firm, Dentons' global team builds agile, tailored solutions to meet the local, national and global needs of private and public clients of any size in more than 175 locations serving 78 countries.
